Compliment for Tommy - the "best"! - Tommy our Altitude Tourt guide for the day was a helpful, engaging and charming tour guide for our trip to Mount Cook. Nothing was too much trouble and he had a great knowledge of the areas we toured as well as fantastic suggestions for other places to visit. Wonderful experience, thank you Tommy!

Tommy is the best and this is an amazing small tour! - Such a great set up! Super small (Max 16) people in a commuter bus. We went on the Mt. Cook tour. The tour operator was very responsive to requests and the guide on the day, Tommy, was first class and so accommodating! I wish we went with this company for Milford Sound too!

A great way to see Mt. Cook in a day - A fantastic day trip to Mt. Cook from QT. Our tour guide was brilliant and a true ambassador for NZ! The Hooker Valley Track was wonderful also - even in mediocre weather. A must do.

Beautiful and snowy - The hike was slippery and tricky due to the snow storm the day before our tour. However, the stunning views made you forget the treacherous hike. Awe is not enough to describe. It's absolutely gorgeous! Sean our guide, was very informative and made sure that we all have our stick when we hike Mt. Cook.
